Abstract

E VEN the home-biding American bookman is aware of the general superiority of the antiquarian bookshops of Europe over those in this country. And usually when he first goes abroad he is amazed to discover that their printed catalogs represent only a small part of their resources-in book stock, in scholarship, and in reasonable prices. Thus, in every European country not only institutional libraries but private students have access to an abundant and cheap market of scholarly books of every sort in secondhand copies. In this country neither libraries nor students have such facilities.
